Mary, thanks for the info, it makes me feel a little better. I always thought they may have caused a lot of his problems during the bypass. On the other hand, I am pretty sure he'd not be with us now if it were not for that skilled surgeon. They told us that surgeon performed 600 bypasses a year with a 98% success rate. I wish I could do my job have as well! So thanks to the doctors,(and their support staffs) even when they make some mistakes! Ken B
